I normally recommend to Buddhist

practitioners not to see every action of

their spiritual teacher as divine and

noble. There are specific, very

demanding qualities that are required

of a spiritual mentor. You don’t simply

say, ‘it is good behaviour because it is

the guru’s.’ this is never done. You

should recognize the unwholesome as

being unwholesome, so one might infer

that it is worthwhile to criticize it.

我通常建議佛教修持者

不要以為性靈老師的所做所為

就一定是神聖而高貴的.

一個性靈老師的特質,

必須非常精準的被要求.

你不能簡單地說,

‘一個上師如此做, 必定是好的行為.’

永遠都不要如此下判斷.

你必需認清不當的就是不當,

也就能明白檢討本身所具有的價值.
